You Know School is Almost Out....

when it is time for field trips. Today was Sam's 1st grade trip. It always amazes me when the schools go to Mt Rushmore...as if the kids who live in this area have not been there at least 10 times already. We go every time we have company so I have long ago lost track of how many times we have seen it. It was a beautiful day though and that was worth getting out for! We hit Mt Rushmore first thing, we did the President walk (a horribly grueling trek by the way!),and then got a snack in the little cafe. Then headed to Canyon Lake Park for lunch and play. The wind kicked in about halfway through the day so the kids got to fly kites. I am amazed we did not have someone fall in the water...those boys were getting pretty close to getting wet!
